ARCHIVE: Best 777-200ER / 772 Business Class and NGBC Seats (consolidated)
The first 777 with the new AVOD and NGBC rolled out of Alliance yesterday 7/21 and then operated to LGW as flight 50. Currently per airliners.net is going to be DFW/LGW runs for a few days. Config is 16F/37J/195Y.
Hopefully someone will have a report on the new AVOD soon. [Edited by mod to add Wiki link.] N.B. ALL 777-223ERs have been converted to NGBC, as documented in the Wiki. |
1 down 46 to go ...

Great news. I can't wait to fly in one of the newly configured aircraft.
|
Hurrah! Thanks for the info.
It is sad that we are having to rely on 2nd hand info from airliners.net these days though. :( |

This rollout has been discussed for a few weeks now - off list though. |
Oooh yes, - looks like I get to ask ***THE QUESTION*** !!
Will my ORD-NRT flight on 24 September have NGBC? |

Was on lgw-dfw return leg and was very impressed with the seats, however layout is interesting with thinner aisles. Less room I believe than the previous 777 J layout. Seems to be a far more claustrophobic cabin aswell when i looked forward to people lying out on them.
|
Thanks, Dalguy and AA 777; good information and good news! I think we kinda expected skinnier aisles, as the 763s got them too - carts that go Bump! more frequently.
a_fman, how did they resolve the 3-in-the-middle seat configuration? Wexflyer, sure. Just close your eyes and visualize... :D

It appears as though they did the same as with the old 777 J in sticking a window pair of seats next to a single seat that appears to not quite fit, although that is only from what I saw in the few seconds walking to and from Y.....was of course in my trusty ol' 31J so didn't get any glimpses during the flight.

Interesting - gives a whole new dimension to being a "mid-row prisoner" - I can recline, but forget using the lav if my bracketing partners are snoozing?

At what rate are they coverting? I am flying LAX>NRT in October on a T7. Wonder if there is any chance I'll have the new layout.
